CURRICULUM MAPPING IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION: LINKING ATTRIBUTES, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS

Abstract

In 2010, the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB) began reviewing programsfor progress toward assessment of graduate attributes.This represented a significant change from traditionalinputs-based to outcomes-based accreditation. TheFaculty of Engineering and Applied Science at MemorialUniversity responded by linking course-based learningoutcomes to graduate attributes and assessments in a live,online curriculum map. This paper provides an overviewof the curriculum mapping approach taken by the Facultyof Engineering and Applied Science at MemorialUniversity.
